Overclock.net has put up a nice database of A4 projects here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AmQ6YZGMTUpFdDJkelB2UHRBaTBQS1VuSHJaNnpzW kE&output=html
I am looking at it and see the Ph II X6 getting abysmal results while second gen Core i5 is shining at it. The HT from the Core i7 does not seem to count in the result too much. That would explain why my Opteron platform is sucking lately at it. Maybe this new core, A4 is not that better optimized for the older architectures? SKY can you put that Trinity to fold a bit so we can get an idea what it can do?
From the results I see in the database, best results are achieved under Linux. BTW, my FAH GPU tracker stats don't include a single unit from their database. I think i will do a VM for the folding.

from what I have red on other forums the new A4 cores have crappy PPD, seems it drops PPD production by 10k even on highly clocked i7 2600Ks. The FAH GPU tracker V2 is using the older 6.34 SMP client, I think I will return to that as it doesn't seem to catch that many A4 core projects. In plus i will be adding a GTX 480 soon for the Opteron platform.

Agreed. It's been a far cry from the heady days of 8057's. I to have seen PPD drop about 15-20 K per machine in the past 1-2 weeks. Getting 8072 7623(not too bad) and 7507 on this machine. On the other I have 8072, 8073 and a 8028. At the moment that machine indicates about 61 K PPD. Used to be 85K at times a week or so back. They tent to go thru cycles, good then bad. I also run one GPU client with the client-type and beta set up on each machine. Still not getting any units over 40 K in PPD.
